Nurses and Midwives Bill 2011: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage
6:00 pm
Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)
It is appropriate that, where a subcommittee of the Fitness to Practise Committee is dealing with a nurse, a properly registered nurse should be a part of that hearing. The same is provided for where the hearing concerns a midwife. It is important that the midwives' profession be properly recognised and accommodated at such a hearing. I accept the Minister's position on both amendments.
